The girl in Texas wasn't jailed for cutting hair she was jailed for failing to comply with a lawful order and tearing up a court summons. If she would have apologized to the judge she would have gone free but she and the people backing her wanted to make a big deal out of it.
I wouldn't have kissed his rearend either. That judge has issues and a history.
What do you know about the judge that you haven't gotten from iffy sources? He's got a very good reputation on the bench as fair and impartial. He gave that stupid broad all the chances in the world and she refused to take them.
